#13 of 21 Purchased another Astra on purpose this time by pafromfl

Dec 23, 2008 (10:48 pm)

I gave my white manual shift XE hatchback (see #4 “unexpectedly purchased an Astra” by pafromfl Jul 30, 2008 7:29 pm) to my daughter and traded in her 2005 Sentra Special Edition automatic with 30,000 miles for a white manual shift sport XR hatchback with 14 miles for $8760 out-the-door. My daughter prefers a manual shift, and I’m happier knowing that she now has ABS, more airbags, and hopefully 3-5 years of warranty. Also, my XR handles a little better than the XE, has a better sound system, and sporty 18” wheels. The future of GM and Saturn is in doubt, but I like the Astra so much that I’ll happily take my chances.

The MSRP was $18740, the rebate was $2000, and the trade-in was the Sentra. The paperwork showed a $8715 credit for the Sentra, but I suspect it was worth more like $7000 as a trade-in. The dealer had a glut of Astras and was probably more interested in reducing inventory than making a profit.

I just bought a new 2008 Astra XR for $13,813 after rebates. It's equipped with Auto trans and heated seats for an MSRP of $19,620. In addition, I applied $5,000 of GM Card cash and drove away a new car for $9,800 total. My daughter loves it...

Hi slocko. Unfortunately, General Motors' financial problems forced it to pull the plug on its lease program. If you really want to lease an Astra right now, you will have to do so through an independent bank. Chances are that it will be more expensive to lease this car than many of its competitors at this time.
